Which deals with the journey of Cicero and Gracchus back to Rome, of what they spoke of along the way, and then of the dream of Spartacus and how it was told to Gracchus.

This chapter explains the journey of Cicero and Gracchus back to Rome. Cicero and Gracchus proceeded at an unhurried pace, their litters travelling side by side. Cicero, who was inclined to be patronizing and something of a snob, forced himself to be respectful to this man who was such a power in the city; and as a matter of fact it was difficult for anyone not to respond to the political grace of Gracchus. All this did not endear Gracchus to Cicero, and when they came finally to the first great cross, which stood just a few miles outside the walls of Rome, Cicero pointed to the fat man who sat dozing under his awning and remarked to Gracchus, Obviously a politician by look and training. Crassus had to be held back finally by his own slaves, and then Caius stumbled out of the house, crying like a little boy from the pain of the whipping.
